Fewer Car Trips Key for Improving Summer Air

The Front Range, from Douglas County to the Wyoming state line, has historically high levels of ground-level ozone, a harmful air pollutant. Ground-level ozone is created when emissions from cars “cook” in sunlight and is most prevalent during the summer months. Reducing two personal car trips each week can help limit the chemicals in our air that produce ozone. Combining errand trips, packing a lunch instead of driving, carpooling or taking the bus or a train are fantastic ways to help air quality. Get more tips at
SimpleStepsBetterAir.org, a program of the
Regional Air Quality Council.

Show us how you skip two car trips on social with the hashtag, #JustSkip2.

Historical Commission Corner

It was a busy spring for the Historical Commission. We hosted the annual Spring Education Program in April about women in the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame, led the annual Historic Walk to the Industrial Mine site and recently opened the Museum for a special Woodwright Demonstration in Asti Park.

May is an important month in our nation’s recognition of military service. Both Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day came up in May. On June 14th the United States celebrates Flag Day, the day during the War for Independence in 1777 when the colonies adopted the flag that is now our official national insignia. During this time of recognition of this historical development, we invite you to visit the Veterans Memorial in Asti Park next to the Historical Museum and recognize the role of the military in United States History.

The Superior Historical Museum is open the first Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please drop by and learn more about your Town’s history and see the recently completed diorama of the Industrial Coal Mine, the backbone of Superior’s economy for 50 years.

At the Firehouse

Summer is here, the kids are out of school and the sun is up late. If you’re taking advantage of the long days and warm evenings on 2 wheels be sure your gear is safe.
Before you hop on the scooter, skateboard or bike put your helmet on. To learn how to ensure your bike helmet fits properly visit
National Safety Council. Did you also check the reflectors on your bike, are they still firmly attached and reflective? Have you looked over your chosen alternative mode of transportation and ensured it is in good working condition? How about the proper shoes; closed toe shoes can spare you and your kids some nasty injuries. Speaking of clothing, if you’re out at dawn, dusk or night be sure to wear light colors and something reflective. Use a light on your helmet, bike, etc to improve your visibility.

Learn the proper way to use hand signals when riding a bike at
NHTSA and teach your kids the proper rules of the road. If you’re driving; be aware more pedestrians are out and about enjoying the weather, take your time, slow down and watch out for balls, kids, toys and pets running out from behind cars or without looking. Don’t Text and Drive, Ride or Walk. Please keep your head out of your device when you are mobile and enjoy the long warm summer days with whatever outdoor activities you choose.

If it is windy or the wind will be picking up before ALL the coals and embers have completely cooled, don’t start a fire. If it is a bad air quality day or there is a burn ban in effect don’t start a fire. Follow manufacturer’s directions for distance from combustibles including your house, deck, weeds, ornamental grasses and bushes.
DO NOT leave the fire or hot embers unattended and keep a garden hose close by. Please be neighborly and talk to your neighbors before you light your fire, maybe consider inviting them over to enjoy the fire with you.

If you feel a fire is unsafe, please call
Boulder County Dispatch and they will dispatch the appropriate resources.
